The Vacancy Squeeze.
The tightest rental markets in every capital. Drag the line to set what counts as a squeeze, and watch how many markets fall below it.
Houses + units combined
How to read it: each capital's tightest rental markets are ranked by vacancy rate — the rolling 3-month rate to May 2026, houses and units combined. Markets that sit below your line are in the squeeze and glow red, and the count shows how many of that capital's markets fall below it. “Markets” are the SA3 areas each capital is built from; markets with very thin rental stock are held back.
